Thanks for the comments. Wished I could have found some good side curtains and mud shields for front idlers. Probably try to make those sometime.

Wow, what a beauty, well done, very straight machine. Just one thing, points off for the alternator but that is just my opinion and we know what they say about that. What kind of paint and primer did you use? Here in CA. (the land of fruits and nuts) we are limited on what we can buy, but AZ and NV are only about 5 hours away.

Thanks again for the comments. I agree with you on the alternator and will change that when I find a good one. I was pretty rough and had a homemade blade on it and the wrong exhaust manifold. That's why I had to go with the different air filter. Could not afford a new manifold.
I use Sherman Williams machinery grade Urethane. It's a single stage that really has a nice shine without finishing with a clearcoat. I have been using it for the last 7-8 tractors and crawlers I completed. I have attached a couple before pictures and one of a Cletrac HG i finished 4 years ago. |

Very nice. Will it mostly be for shows, or will it get to pull anything?

I would like to go to plow days with a 2 or 3 bottom trip plow or 10 foot drag disc. Just love plow days.

It should but the only time they see sun is at shows, tractor drives or just out to exercise them.
